Gravity, give it back to the weight of the earth...

Fourth and last version of my fragment of Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus that I was telling you about here.
The first inked version does not satisfy me so I changed for an intaglio lettering for the original version and a very small and elongated version for the French translation.



All this is done on watercolor paper, iron gall ink and Prussian blue.

Waldeinsamkeit

 That's it, I've finished inking the white vine.
The letters are in walnut stain, the colours of the vine are made with watercolour earth.





And for those who do not speak German, this term refers to the feeling of harmony with nature experienced when walking alone in the forest.
